SMAG/Peiner has been represented by Peiner USA, Inc. for over twelve years in the US market place. Different industries such as Waste to Energy, Scrap handling, Steel Mills, Bulk Transfer Facilities and numerous other material handling facilities are presently depending on our buckets and grabs to do their jobs.
Peiner's design philosophy has always revolved around the idea of producing grabs which deal with the largest volume instead of grab dead weight. Normally, the grab and bucket lifting ratio's meaning that 60 percent of material is dead weight versus 40 percent grab dead weight. This means transporting greater quantities of materials faster. There is less wear and tear on the crane structure and its related parts. By combining innovative design and high quality materials with manufacturing, the desirable weight ratio is attained.
In order to meet the particular needs of our clients' individual needs, grab sizes range from less than 1 cubic yard to more than 50 cubic yards. Additionally, Peiner USA Inc. offers a complete spare parts facility and service facility for the models purchased in the USA, as well as the addition of brand new grabs and buckets.
